“The stone forms the ground. The ground supports the tree. The trees create fresh water. The water gives life. The man becomes one and coexists with the continuity and the balance of nature. The nature becomes the spring of man. The sculpture stands motionless, reflects the time, and the silent voice.” – Quote from the artist
Seven pillars of various sizes made of stone using dry stone wall technique. They can clearly be seen from the path. In the photo above you can see Tsuchiya making them, and shows the scale.

Originally created in a small clearing in the dense pines, they haven’t changed at all over their time in the forest, though the trees around them have gone.

When surrounded by trees and harder to find they had a waymarker, a coiled snake, created & sited in 1997. This was very sadly destroyed when Simon Bill created a new artwork out of it in 2000.
